More Information - Babylonstoren Viognier
An elegant, subtly wooded South African white wine with fragrant aromas of fresh peach, apricot, and jasmine blossom. It delivers a rich, smooth mouthfeel with a refreshing, creamy finish—perfect for pairing with shellfish or mild, aromatic curries.
Back Story & Wine Information
The story starts in 1692 as a historic wine and wheat farm in South Africa, named for its hill, “Babylon’s Toren,” reminding early settlers of the Tower of Babel due to diverse languages.
Acquired by new owners in 2007, it underwent a major restoration, transforming its authentic, historic Cape Dutch farmyard and buildings into a modern luxury hotel, winery, and renowned botanical garden, blending deep history with contemporary design and a farm-to-table ethos.
Pairing
Best paired with shellfish, creamy seafood, mild fragrant curries, or spiced poultry dishes like chicken korma.
